LSI developped their Fuision-MPT line of SCSI controller (U320 and fibre channel) back in 2001. Well before ‘dual core cpus’ hit mainstream. Continuing from the last post, and found on the same PowerEdge motherboard is an LSI53C1030 Fusion-MPT SCSI controller. This one was made in 2004, and has not one, nor two, but THREE ARM966E-S 32bit cores on it.

No idea of the clock speed of the cores, but at 0.18u the cores are good for 200MHz and 250MHz at 0.13u. The chips system clock is sourced by an 80MHz

The Largest CPU Museum!

In my daily hunt for new processors, and other chips for the museum, as well as information about new chips, I constantly come across interesting chips, in strange locations. Here you will get a chance to learn WHERE many of the chips in the museum come from and what they are.
